BRUSH PERFORMANCE ALLOYS - Materion

THE LEADER IN COPPER- AND BERYLLIUM-BASED ALLOYSFor more than 80 years, Brush Performance Alloys has played a central role in the developmentof copper-based alloy system components, metallurgically tailored to meet customers’performance requirements. Our materials can be found in technically demanding end-useproducts in aerospace, automotive, computers, telecommunications, manufacturingequipment, mobile equipment, medical products, oil and gas, plastic tooling and more.FULLY INTEGRATED FROM MINE TO MILLWith the Western world’s sole commercially viable source of beryllium ore, Materion is theworld’s only fully integrated developer and supplier of engineered beryllium materials, frommining to R&D to mill products and value-added fabrication services. Our strip and bulkproducts are manufactured at Materion facilities in Ohio and Pennsylvania and distributedworldwide through a network of company-owned service centers, distributors and agents.STRIP AND BULK PRODUCTS IN MANY FORMSWe sell bulk form products and strip products, which include thin-gauge precision stripand small diameter rod and wire. These copper and nickel beryllium alloys provide a uniquecombination of high conductivity, high reliability and formability for use as connectors,contacts, switches, relays and shielding. Bulk products are copper and nickel-based alloysmanufactured in plate, rod, bar, tube and other customized forms that, depending uponthe application, consistently provide superior strength, corrosion or wear resistance,thermal conductivity or lubricity.SPECIALTY ALLOYS TO MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTSWhile we are the world’s leader in copper and nickel beryllium alloy products, we also producea growing line of non-beryllium alloys. Foremost of these is ToughMet ® , a remarkablecopper-nickel-tin engineered alloy renowned for its combination of strength, lubricity andresistance to corrosion. This unmatched property set makes it the material of choice forapplications such as bearing materials used in drilling, mining and other tough environments.Beyond ToughMet ® , we have introduced other new alloys and processes for shielding,connectors and other applications in products such as smart phones, digital cameras andcomputers.Responsible StewardshipAt Materion Brush Performance Alloys, it is our policy to design, manufacture and distributeproducts and to manage, recycle and dispose of materials in a safe, environmentally responsiblemanner. The health and welfare of people and the environment are our highest priority,and we are proud of our world-class safety and environmental efforts.WhatOur AlloysOfferWe make tough materials for ruggedenvironments.
